Great Light Hiking BootVerified Buyer Reviewed by The McKenzie Kid from Eugene, OR on Saturday, June 10, 2017I'm sorry to see these are discontinued, but at least I was able to pick up a spare pair at a great price. Comfortable right out of the box, great traction, decent ankle support. These boots just fit my feet very well.
Solid BootsVerified Buyer Reviewed by MountainMat from Arizona on Friday, January 2, 2015Got these boots at a great price, and they were delivered promptly. The boot itself is solid, has good support, and the Vibram soles give excellent traction on smooth rocks. The shoes fell very durable and are extremely lightweight. The toebox runs large, but this can be a good thing if you're descending many steep trails. Overall, I would highly recommend this boot.
Light weight hikerVerified Buyer Reviewed by No Diggity! from Maryland on Monday, December 15, 2014First impression boot feels to me like it runs a tad big, nothing a thick sock can't compinsate for. I like the look and fit. Bought to replace 3yr old keens. Does not seem to be as well made as keens, only time will tell.
A very comfortable bootVerified Buyer Reviewed by tdechill from Kingston, NY on Tuesday, December 2, 2014I've owned the Eco 2.0, the shoe version of this boot, for 2 years. They have been extremely comfortable with amazing traction and great water resistant. So I decided, before the winter starts, to get the boot version. Same great features & comfort. My only complaint would be that they should have added one more eyelet to the boot, It actually has the same number as the shoe. Another eyelet near the top would have allowed one to snug the boot more around the ankle for better support. Otherwise, I love them. I also love Sierra Trading's great price!
Great bootsVerified Buyer Reviewed by WJ from Alabama on Thursday, November 27, 2014Wore these a few days after I got them, hiking in the Smokey Mountains. They kept my feet dry and warm on a wet cold day. Very comfortable, wore them all day with no problems on my problem-prone feet.
Great right out of the box.Verified Buyer Reviewed by Tmant from Ohio on Monday, November 24, 2014I thought the European sizes might be an issue but they fit great. Good Vibram sole, good traction on various surfaces. Gore-Tex couldn't handle snow too well but they dry fairly fast. They are very light which is nice. All around great purchase.
Great boot!Verified Buyer Reviewed by TD from Idaho on Monday, November 3, 2014Needed these quickly since I was in the middle of an elk hunt when my other boots became unusable. Put these on and hike about 6-8 miles a day for several straight days without a blister or any issue. This is my first pair of La Sportiva but certainly not my last.
So far, so good.Verified Buyer Reviewed by ML from Durham, NC on Wednesday, October 15, 2014I am in the horticulture industry and usually target shoes and boots with Goretex for work. I have had a number of different pairs of Asolos, Merrells, etc. Granted I have only had these for two weeks, but I have worn them through two days of rain working on a new install site in the nice clay of North Carolina. My feet were warm and totally dry. They are perfect for what I do in the sense that they have pull on loops on the back of the boot, which make getting them on quickly mush easier, especially with heavier socks.
At first I was wondering where the rest of the lace hooks were, since there is only one set. It seemed like a design failuer. However, after these two weeks, I am praising them for their simplicity in that sense. Its nice to not have to adjust the laces through 4 sets of hooks because one pass was way too tight and is putting a choke hold on your ankle.
I am on here ordering another pair to put away for future use. At this price, they so far stand up to my Merrells and far surpass my experiences with Asolo.
I usually get about a year out of boots like this so I hope to update in the future with wear and tear info.
Super comfortable out of the box.
A little warm on 75 degree days....feet got pretty warm but didn't sweat.
Well made.
Extremely comfortableVerified Buyer Reviewed by REM from West Virginia on Saturday, September 27, 2014High quality boot and extremely comfortable. Order 1/2 size up.

"If I wear a sized 10 what size would I order?"
I wear US size 12 1/2, in these boots I wear a Euro 46.5. If I wore medium weight socks I could probably wear a Euro 47. I hope this is some help to you.
43.5---These boots are great!
I wear a 12 and I first ordered a size 12. I'm having to return them. They were a little too small so I ordered again and went up to a 12 1/2. Great fit, still snug and great for hiking.
"How would the width of these or the brand in general be characterized? I am on the edge of having wide feet and need a toebox that has some room."
I have a narrow heel and wide toes and these boots work for me, but I do have to wear lightweight socks with these boots so there is not a lot of room to spare. I would recommend finding someplace to try on a pair of La Sportiva's though I know some of their products are too narrow for me.
I have a tough time getting a comfortable fit, having a high arch, and suffering both plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma in the past five years from tight fitting cycling shoes. So a tight fit is out of the question for me. That said, the La Sportiva line in general has a more generous toebox width than nearly every other boot I tried in the past 6 months, including the Lowa wide version boots, which many sales people recommended.
I first discovered how sublimely comfortable La Sportiva was three years ago, when in despair of finding a light to medium weight three season boot, I instead became resigned to using my Merrill sneakers, while simultaneously, in the hope of finding a decent insulated winter boot I tried La Sportiva's Nepal Evo GTX mountaining boot. I was astounded by this boots: 1. ample toebox; 2. lack of ridges/bumps/discontinuities in the footbed/insole; and 3. secure fit in the heel and ankle. This combination and degree of comfortable width, smooth insole, and secure fit translate to low fatigue, low pain, and stability, resulting in high physical output for many hours per day. Because of this Evo experience, this past spring I renewed my original goal and undertook an extensive search for La Sportiva three season hiking boots, and for comparison - their equivalent competition, in Paragons, Campmor, REI, & EMS stores in northern NJ and NYC. I found La Sportiva's boots to be consistently most comfortable for the above reasons, with Lowa and Mammut coming in close behind due to one or more minor degrees of fault relating to the three areas listed. The Eco's are so comfortable, I have even taken to using them for construction work for 8 to 12 hour shifts.
In fairness, the $500 Evo and the priced to move Eco aren't in the same class of materials, but I believe the degree of attention to detail of design, construction/manufacturing methods, and quality control are in the same ballpark, because the Eco has proven to be extremely comfortable.
As a warning, I have tripped a few times when the shoelace grommet/loops &/or hooks catch the opposite boot's loose lace in passing. Tie em; even though its a little difficult.
I'm sometimes a little bit wider than a d but have a narrow heel. This shoe fits me well.
For me, compared to Asolo and Merrell, they are a tad wider in the toe box. I found Asolo to be super narrow and squeeze my foot in the front, but eventually stretch out. Merrells are snug and do the same, but these (which are the first La Sportiva's ever purchased) where comfortable and roomy enough to throw on some thick a** wool socks today and still not feel like the circulation in my feet was being cut off.
I like them a lot and have bought a cheaper pair of boots to retire these to personal use rather than muddy, wet landscaping use.
"Do these boots run true to size.
I where size 13"
According to our fit models this item is running true to size.

This probably slipped past many people's radar as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers series ended its long run with episode 700.
Last weekend after 700 episodes and 17 seasons, the long-running Power Ranger series came to an end. The karate-miming, putty-patroller-beating group reached massive highs with toy sales and ratings in childrens' television, and also terrible lows with the tragic and dark crime that involved a past child star.
I never got into the series myself, as giant transforming robots seemed to have already been played out. What did make sense about the initial American series was Amy Jo Johnson.
18 Comments
Will impure thoughts send me to Hell?
I was a huge fan of Power Rangers when I was a kid… still have all the toys, even.
And yeah, Amy Jo Johnson… yeah…
Sad to hear this. Not that I watch the show anymore but I was really into it when it started as a kid in the 90s. And Amy Jo Johnson was always haaaawt.
"The karate-miming, putty-patroller-beating group reached massive highs with toy sales and ratings in childrens' television, and also terrible lows with the tragic and dark crime that involved a past child star."
I hardley thing a guy that is accused of murder that appeared on ONE EPISODE of the show as the kid the PR's where help practice soccer (his only television role mind you) should qualify as even being a blip on the screen of this series. I think the death of the Yellow Ranger, Thuy Trang, in 2001 would be more of a "terrible low".
It was entertaining for the fans, and made a lot of kids happy and parents start drinking.
Giant Tran-forming Robots are *always* cool. Philistines. ;)
But True. The era of Power Rangers is gone, replaced by the era of moronic animated characters (Sponge Bob, Chowder, Flapjack, etc.) Rejoyce. ;)
I didn't even know the show was still on. I haven't seen it in more than a decade. What channel was it on??
It was on ABC Kids. I think they removed it though. If you wanna look, the last iteration of the show was Power Rangers RPM; the Japanese original was Go-Ongers; and the show was okay for a Power Rangers show.
I'll now go back to watching my sentai thru downloads.
Bummer. Disney didn't really know what to do with this series, I think. I think they knew that it wasn't really being watched but that kids were buying the toys (one woman I work with is genuinely surprised how much her son loves the toys even though he's never seen a single PR episode). And putting it on Saturdays with no cable reruns airing at a timeslot preempted for sports a lot probably didn't help.
Even when I was a kid and watched it, I thought it was stupid, but there were a few series where they tried putting on a serious face, and they came pretty damn close to the tone of a fun comic series. In fact, I consider a few iterations to be pretty good superhero teams that could've been explored more apart from the TV show, but that'll never happen.
I'll bet this series was responsible for getting more than a few people into martial arts or Japanese culture, too. So it's sad to hear that, after all this time, it's over.
BTW, I'm with Stacy – a terrible low is one of the original main actresses dying on the way to a wedding, not a bit-part actor from one episode arrested for murder. Where'd that press release come from that that's the worst thing they could find?
Huge fan here. I have almost every Megazord proudly displayed in my basement. Disney ran the franchise into the ground. Everything after Countdown to Destruction was going to be hard to follow anyway.
However, I don't see this mentioned here but I have heard that they are re-running the original series. Maybe a new generation of kids will get into it.
I count my blessings that this horrible show is finally off the air and no longer making todays children dumber. They took all the best parts of good shows like Voltron and made them cheesey and hokey. If there was ever a show that deserved to rot in the lowest pit of Hades this was it.
What did this show teach a couple of generations?
1. When trouble arrives you can kick and punch your way out.
2. When you cant solve your own problems call in 4 of your friends to fight 1 guy.
3. If that doesnt solve your problem then the 5 of you need to pull out guns and knives.
4. If that doesn't solve your problem then pull out vehicles, transform into a robot and one shot it with a sword. Problem solved.
I always wondered why they didnt just go right for the robot mode and get it over with, its not like they ever beat the bad guy without throwing out the alpha card.
Joy to the world, rest in peace.
Because Zordon instructed them to only use the megazord when its absolutely necessary in the first episode (don't ask me why I remember that).
Its funny you should bring up what the show teaches kids, because they used to have PSAs at the end of the show that says the exact opposite of everything you just said.
Seneca, what exactly do GI Joe, Transformers, and Voltron teach kids? Or maybe you'd prefer kids watching Hannah Montana?
Kids were frequently influenced by Power Rangers to take up martial arts. A little bit of learning in the fields self-defense and self-confidence (not to mention fitness!) surely are not bad things.
And yes Angela, Zordon said that they could never escalate a fight, so they only used the Megazords to match the bad guys when they grew.
I think w/Seneca it's just a case of hating something that's not aimed at your generation and having the "nostalgia blinders" on – i.e. refusing to admit that the stuff you loved as a child wasn't good while refusing to see new works as anything but bad. I tried watching Voltron recently, and the animation was so bad it was painful. I will never speak ill of Filmation's cost-cutting again. But that's what he grew up with, so that's his standard of excellence. It's a sad situation, really, since you wind up shutting yourself out to good new stuff and, as we can see here, come off as a jerk about doing so.

Wow. Three months. It feels like Baby Girl has been here forever & yet as though it's passed in the blink of an eye.
She's kicking & flailing at every opportunity. Her movement is becoming smoother with every day. She's also developing a little personality, which is lovely to see. She likes her 'me' time. I've found that sometimes, she'd rather have 15 minutes on her own. She'll happily sit & amuse herself with her hands, playing with her fingers. She can now grab each individual finger and hold onto it while she stares, fascinated at her own hands. (Not that I stand & watch her from a far.) When she's ready, she's starts to coo as if to say, 'Ok, I'm done. I'm ready to play again now.' This is particularly the case in a large group. She becomes visibly overwhelmed & needs a moment or two to gather herself. But one-on-one, even with a new person, she's her usual smiley self.
Which leads me to the fact that Baby Girl is also developing a little sense of humour. Whether you 'beep' her nose, tickle her or splash the water in her bath, she smiles & giggles.
And Baby Girl likes her sleep. A lot. If I wake her before she's ready, she is not a happy bunny. And if she doesn't get her full 16 hours in a 24 hour period, she's very grouchy.(She's definitely our daughter!)
Last weekend, Baby Girl rolled over from her front to her back all on her own for the first time. When she's on her back, she tucks up her legs & swings them to the side so she can roll onto her side & more easily see whatever it is she's looking at. To begin with I was extremely excited by this milestone. Now I've realised this just means we're dangerously close to never being able to turn our backs on her for a second. Particularly when on the changing table. Goodie.
However, she has also started teething. At the moment, it's not too bad. She's just gnawing at everything from her toys to her tops to her hands. Or our hands! But we're bracing ourselves for when the real fun starts.

In a world rapidly developing and digitally transforming, eOriginal is a trusted partner and platform. Over the past several years we generated the need and preference for digital transactions and have driven the need and adoption of eOriginal nationally.
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) February 10, 2016
eOriginal, Inc., the experts in digital transactions, announced today that the company nearly doubled its sales and revenue goals for aggressive year-over-year growth by expanding its core digital financial asset management business.
eOriginal credits its customer base growing by more than 70 percent to increased education of digital transformation within key financial services markets leading to greater acceptance and demand of Digital Transaction Management (DTM) and post-signature management. This has led leaders in their respective industries – including SoFi in student lending; DriveTime and DealerTrack in vehicle finance; Westgate Resorts in timeshare ownership; Upstart and Funding Circle in marketplace lending; U.S. Bank and Millennium Trust Company as custodians – to become early adopters of digital services such as digital vaulting, transaction services and transferrable record services.
According to Aragon Research, a leading technology analyst firm, Digital Transaction Management (DTM) is poised to grow into a $30-billion market by 2020, with the asset management sector showing a significant rise. As a pioneer in DTM, the company has positioned itself to continue its successful growth into the coming years. In a research note published last spring, lead analyst of Aragon Research, Jim Lundy, stated, "Only a few providers currently focus on DTM Asset Management; the best known is eOriginal, Inc."
To support the expansion, the company hired two senior-level executives to help drive the company towards what leadership predicts will be an even greater year-over-year growth in 2016. Robert (Bob) Edwards joined the company as the first-ever Chief Financial Officer and Brian Matthews joined as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. Both Edwards and Matthews bring over 25 years of experience in their respective fields. To learn more about Edwards or Matthews, and their roles with eOriginal, visit: http://www.eoriginal.com/leadership-team.html.
eOriginal also rolled out critical enhancement to its eAsset® Management Platform. The platform enables businesses to go beyond simple electronic signature functionality to manage the entire lifecycle of a digital transaction in a fully electronic environment. The solution enables end users the control to manage their eAsset documents while securely providing access to additional authorized participants such as lenders, document custodians, investors, auditors and legal counsel.
"Over the past several years we generated the need and preference for digital transactions and have driven the need and adoption of eOriginal nationally," said Stephen Bisbee, CEO and President of eOriginal, Inc. "In a world rapidly developing and digitally transforming, eOriginal is a trusted partner and platform. Our customers don't leave us because we will never leave them.

The identity of Cameron Dallas' girlfriend and his love life, in general, is a hot topic his loyal fans need to know about. Ultimately, it seems like everyone just wants to know who is Cameron dating? Since he's has broken out from just being a social media star to now an actor, model, aspiring musician who happens to have his own Netflix series, pretty much any time he's seen hanging out with a girl, everyone wants to know if he's dating her. It's most likely because Cam's fans think he would make a great boyfriend and it's about time he has some love in his life! Plus, he often sends out a tweet to his 16 million followers about his desire for a relationship that no doubt stirs up the drama every now and then. An example:
i want a girlfriend— Cameron Dallas (@camerondallas) January 7, 2018
Well, it seems like he might've just found the one after all. Or so he wanted us to believe. Cameron was in Milan walking in the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show when he took fans by total surprise, letting everyone know he was "officially taken," all with one kissing pic he shared on Instagram.
The stunning beauty who appeared to have won Cameron's heart is model Giorgia Caldarulo and he later posted a video showing off the moment the two were kissing, looking as happy as ever together.
Cameron was really plugging this new romance too, even posting on his Instagram story that he's finally found his queen.
And he responded back to fans in the comments of his pics, letting them know he's so happy they're happy for him.
Now while this all appears to be the happiest time in Cameron's life, this sudden romance wasn't real, like we originally suspected. Cam spoke to #legend about the inauthentic public display of affection and how it was all for a photo shoot, with the final photo being revealed in the fashion brand's latest campaign. "It was for Dolce; they wanted to remake that really famous photo from New York [V-J Day in Times Square] under the Duomo. I realized how beautiful it would be and said alright, 'I'm down,'" Cameron explained. "Giorgia is an amazing person. I only met her that day, but she's amazing. Such a great person, internally. She's gorgeous as well, like, wow! She's really gorgeous. A lot of fans were there taking photos and I knew it would get out, so I just rolled with it. I thought it was cool — our first kiss was under the Duomo, it's very romantic. I thought it was really romantic — maybe a little staged, but a great photo. Yeah, it was pretty staged, but it's kind of like, maybe our parents brought us together!" So there we have it, the smooch everyone was freaking out over was just for a photo and no, Cameron is not dating Giorgia. Way to prank us all, Cam. Since this epic kiss though, he has since gone back to his usual, still single and looking for the one style on social media. But he did say that he went on a date, so perhaps maybe this time, it's the real deal.
went on a date yesterday— Cameron Dallas (@camerondallas) March 4, 2018
While we're not sure why he would put this out there for the world to know about, it is all very interesting and just adds more fuel to the idea that the web star turned model is really trying to find his one true love after all. Well before that v fake yet convincing public declaration of love to Giorgia, Cameron's love life was — and probs always will be — a bit of a mystery and fans have always been curious about who he's dating. All it took was one video in a Dear Cameron series he started on his YouTube channel where Cam answered all of the burning questions anyone has ever had about his dating history. And now, we have the ultimate guide to the cutie's love life thanks to those answers and you know, just examining his friendships with some of the stunning ladies he's been linked to over the years. Here we go:
How many girlfriends has Cameron had?
He has spoken about this before, but he made it clear once and for all that he's only ever had one girlfriend. "I've had one official girlfriend, that was my junior year. Her name was Jasmine Gonzalez, went to Chino High School. We talked for four months and dated for three. The reason we broke up, we just kind of realized we were better off as friends," he explained.
So there we have it: Jasmine is the lucky girl who spent seven months with Cam has her guy. In another YouTube video, Cameron once revealed the most romantic thing he's ever done for a girl and while he didn't say who, we're going to go ahead and guess it was Jasmine. And yes, the story is v cute.
"Before I went [to her house] I got in my car and I drove and right before I made a left outside of my community, there were a bunch of roses and I thought I might as well do something cute, right? So I legit spent like ten minutes looking for the perfect rose, got the rose, drove to her house, gave her the rose. It was cute," he said. Just precious.
Who has Cameron dated?
Besides Jasmine, Cameron hasn't publicly had any other girlfriends, but there have been plenty of stunning beauties he has been linked to along the way. But before we get into all that, we do need to bring up that time in 2015 when Cam had everyone thinking he was happily in love. The web star took to Twitter and Instagram to let the world know he found the perfect girl with a series of oh so romantic pics.
"I know I've been putting it off for a while.... But I'm officially taken. Love you 👼," he wrote in the caption of the pics he shared on Instagram.
Love you 👼 ❤ pic.twitter.com/u1nvQGacNl— Cameron Dallas (@camerondallas) April 1, 2015
While Cameron didn't reveal the mystery girl in the photos' identity, it's been speculated that it's Rachel Bentley, who Cameron was spotted out and about holding hands, looking rather coupley with. But when he posted these pics, it happened to be April Fools' Day and he admitted it was all a prank.
"I was kidding (: I'm single haha it was just a photoshoot but I do love her 😊," he wrote on Instagram, along with tweeting out a screenshot of the calendar to remind us this was all a joke.
Oh I was Kidding BTW happy April Fools 😊 pic.twitter.com/L5hllVV5mz— Cameron Dallas (@camerondallas) April 2, 2015
So who else has Cameron been linked to? Well, let us explain...
What's going on with Cameron and Kelsey Calemine?
Cam spent New Year's Eve in Miami along with some of his OG MagCon buds Taylor Caniff, Jack Gilinsky, Jack Johnson and Chris Miles. Also on hand were Anastasia Karanikolaou (Kylie Jenner's bestie who used to date Sammy Wilk) and model Kelsey Calemine. You might recognize her from Instagram, where she has amassed more than 1 million followers and Cameron posted a selfie with the blonde beauty on his Snpchat story.

Now there hasn't been any sign of anything romantic going on between them and Kelsey just seems to be part of this crew Cameron was hanging out with and they're just friends for now at least. One selfie doesn't really say all that much!
Is Hailey Baldwin Cameron's girlfriend?
Cameron and Hailey have actually known each other for a few years now but within the last few months, they really started hanging out more after both modeling for legendary designer Carolina Herrara's latest campaign. From dinners to hanging out at parties and concerts together, appearing on each other's Instagram stories and fans even ran into the pair together, naturally everyone was shipping them.

While neither Cam or Hailey has ever directly commented on the status of their friendship, it seems like maybe something more was going on but it has since fizzled out since the blonde beauty was lately been seen getting cozy with Cam's longtime friend, Shawn Mendes. So for now, nothing much to report besides they're just friends.
Is Cameron dating Alexis Ren?
Now this is where things get interesting. Cameron and Alexis both got their social media starts as Instagram models and they once even sent friendly, yet flirty tweets to each other back in 2013. They did a photo shoot together for their mutual good friend, photographer Bryant Eslava in May of 2017 that completely proved they not only would make a gorgeous couple, but they really do have such great chemistry together. Proof:
A few months later, Bryant posted on his Snapchat story a ~shirtless~ photo of Cameron. While we are all #thankful B shared this pic because who doesn't need more shirtless Mr. Dallas in their lives, it's his phone everyone can't stop looking at. Take a look at the background of his lock screen.

It appears to be a girl, posing in a squatting down position, wearing a skirt and sneakers. Here's a close-up:

Photo look familiar? That's because it's straight up from Alexis' Instagram.
BOOM. Need we say more??? So okay, this doesn't prove anything really because it was Bryant who took this pic and Cameron's phone just so happened to be strategically placed in his hand so we would be able to see the background. Seems like it all could've been planted and Cam might just be one to post pics of his crush as his phone background. Cameron then took to Twitter to let everyone know he had since changed his lock screen after all this hoopla to a dog, so perhaps they were just messing with us all and love wasn't in the air for the pair after all. Sigh.
Did Cameron date Sofia Richie?
Rumors started swirling that something was going on between Sofia and Cameron after they really hit it off at Milan Fashion Week in 2016 and Cam was seen on Sof's Snapchat story hanging out at her house with all their friends quite a few times.
(Photo Credit: Getty)
But it seems like it was once again, just a friendship, which Sofia made clear when a paparazzi asked her about the status of their relationship.
"No, that's one of my great friends," she said and when she was asked if there's a chance they could date in the future, she gave a little laugh and flat out said, "I don't think so." Cameron echoed these sentiments when another pap tried to find out if there was more to their relationship too.
"Oh no, we're just friends. I feel like if I hang out with any girl [there are rumors] though. She's dope," he said.
Was Chase Carter Cameron's girlfriend?
Before his friendship with Sofia sparked rumors, Cameron was spotted hanging out with model Chase Carter while on vacation in Hawaii. Yep, she's the blonde beauty in the photo he shared of the pair cliff-jumping together on Instagram, which he has since deleted from his account.
(Photo Credit: Instagram)
But these two are simply just friends since Chase has been happily dating Olympic swimmer Conor Dwyer. So clearly there is nothing romantic going on here!
Did Cameron ever date CloeCouture?
These two did a pair YouTube collab videos that were all about dating and relationships, which naturally led to speculation of how these web stars know each other and if they were a couple. They seemed to get along and well, anytime Cam is spotted with a girl who isn't his mom or sister, people speculate about their relationship. As it turns out, they are simply just acquaintances and Cloe took to her own channel to set the record straight about how they ended up working together.
"Cameron and I are in the same YouTube network and our network was just looking for people to collab with. That day of the video, we had never met before, I had been speaking to his manages and stuff to plan the video, but we had never talked about anything," she shared in the video. "I don't like to do collabs this way, so I get there and then literally 10 minutes later, we sit down and start filming his video. That's probably why I was so nervous and awkward in it because I typically only film collabs with friends or usually we brainstorm about it first, so it was a little bit of a weird situation."
The two didn't even know each other before that day they met and filmed the videos! So no, they never dated and Cloe went on to say that ever since then, she's received some not so nice message from fans, which she hopes will stop now that she's shared her side and put the truth out there.
"Nothing happened between us, we never dated and I would really appreciate it if all the Cameron Dallas fans would stop posting angry pictures of me," Chloe said. "After that collab, I literally got so much hate from these Cameron Dallas fangirls, like you guys, I didn't do anything! But he's a really chill guy and the videos turned out great. It was a good collab, but it was business."
So no romance here, folks.
Has Cameron ever cheated on a girlfriend?
Cameron brought this up during his YT Q & A video, saying that for some reason people tend to think this is true about him before getting to know or even meeting him. But he admitted the truth that no, he hasn't.
"No, I have never cheated on anyone. I've only had one girlfriend and on top of that, it's not something I would ever do and it's kind of offensive that people assume that I'm that type," he said. GOOD TO KNOW.
Who is Cameron's celebrity crush?
Even though it's clear Cameron could date probably anyone he wanted, there is truly one woman who is a bit out of his league and he can't help but love from afar: Rihanna. The queen that is RiRi is the one fellow celeb he's crushing on (and really who doesn't have a crush on Rihanna?!) and he's even liked some highly convincing, super impressive fan-made manips on Twiter of the pair.
February 10, 2017
Yup, clearly slaying.
Is Cameron married?
Short answer: No. But there was a minute when fans freaked out and thought it would be true. He appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden sporting a band on his ring finger on what appears to be his left hand, aka the finger a wedding band goes on. So everyone was wondering what exactly is going on. Does Cameron actually have a special someone in his life? And more importantly, did he secretly get married?! Here are the pics that are floating around that has Cam's fans scratching their heads a bit:
My face when I saw @camerondallas wearing a ring 😂 pic.twitter.com/T2kpViIBC0— QueenBelenStar 💫 (@Itsbelenruss) January 13, 2017
And he even liked this tweet from a fan who took note of the fact that he was wearing the mysterious piece of jewelry. She also called out how last time everyone checked, he was single and didn't have a girlfriend, let alone a wife.
Since she was joking around in her tweet and he showed it some love, it's safe to say Cameron isn't married and just felt like wearing the ring on that specific finger. It is meant to have a ring on it, after all. Which leads up to the big question...
Is Cameron single?
Yes, yes he is, which he explained in that one v helpful YouTube video.
"My love life is kind of chill. I'm more so working on self-improvement and expanding myself and learning about myself and understanding who I am and getting to know what I'm about. I feel like for my love life before I love someone else, I really need to experience who I am, I'm only 23 so I'm still learning about myself," he explained.
He later commented back to fans on a now-deleted Instagram pic he posted after taking a boat ride in Venice, Italy that is very aware of how single he is.
Aww, it's all good Cam!
How do I get Cameron to notice me?
Don't even try to deny you're not wondering somewhere deep down in your soul how exactly you can be the one to snag Cam off the market. And he explained exactly what you can do to catch his eye: just be yourself and don't be too shy to say hello to him.
"For me, for someone to come to me and [say] 'Hey' for me to notice them, it would literally be that. Come up to me and be like, 'hey what's up? I'm so and so' and kind of just start basic conversation and just see where that goes," he said in his Dear Cameron video.
Who is Cameron's dream girl?
In an interview with Seventeen, the Chasing Cameron star opened about all about his dream girlfriend, and the way he described this lucky girl will just make your heart melt.
"I hope she talks a lot and makes me laugh. I hope she's genuine— that means so much to me. Someone who is truthful and faithful. Someone I'd feel comfortable and confident having around people— where people would come up to me like, 'Wow, you guys are so good together. She completes you.' Someone who makes me a better person," Cameron said. "I like the idea of being in a relationship. I do want to find a wife—and not when I'm 40. I want to settle down, have a family. I want six kids, maybe even more. Who knows?"
OK, let's just process all of that adorableness. Oh, and remember that Venice boat pic we mentioned earlier? Well, in the caption of that shot, Cameron went on to say that he has plans to return to the beautiful city, with someone special by his side: his future wife.
"People have talked to me about the beauty in Venice, and I can say from first-hand experience you have to be here to truly witness it, what an amazing spot in the world. Within 30 minutes of me being here I am sold to the fact that I will always be obsessed with this place and I can't wait to take my wife and kids here one day... (my wife first though, 😉) photo cred - @andreww_ferrer," he wrote in the caption of the post he has since taken down, which we're not sure why since it was a v nice pic. But we digress since Cam totally slayed our hearts with that caption. The cuteness over this future wife of his didn't stop there since he wrote back to a fan who commented on this pic that he will be "blessed to have her."
Plus, he already has an ideal date in mind for his special girl too. And trust us when we say it's already the most romantic night ever.
"I would love to drive to a big field, get in an airplane and fly to Hawaii at night. Then we'd skydive out of the plane, land in the water, unhook the skydiving thing and swim all the way to shore. I would have the beach lit up, so the girl wouldn't be scared. Sometimes girls aren't scared – and that's pretty cool, too. But we'd swim in and dinner would be set up. It'd be chill; there'd be a cabana and a violin playing," Cameron explained to #legend. "I'm just imagining right now what my next perfect date will be like. I want to have a big projector screen in the water and I want fireworks in the background! But that's for after the movie is over. That way I know in my head that I have like an hour, and I can time it out and make the moment special. Kiss her when the fireworks start, you know? Make it special. And doves would fly, obviously. And my friend [Bryant] would be hiding out, and right when the fireworks went, he'd come in and take photos and it would be a cute thing. It depends on the girl — some girls don't want there to be any photos, they just want it to be a private thing. So that's why we'd keep it secret, I'd surprise her with a portrait of it, like, 20 years after when we're married."
Okay, he really did think this entire date out and his future love is officially the luckiest girl. One day Cameron will find the right girl and as for now, well we're sure there's plenty of people who wouldn't mind getting a chance to try and win his heart.

World Of Dance is getting intense! When we left off last week, dancers from Latin backgrounds to hip-hop and freestyle genres competed in the qualifier rounds. Now that they made it through to the next round, [aka, the duels], things are getting serious! Week 4 of the new, hit show marks the first eliminations of the competition and we're here to break it all down for you!
During the June 20 episode, contestants from each class [Upper, Junior, Team] dueled against each other — meaning, uppers will duel against each other, juniors vs. juniors, and so on. Each group will perform their routine, then the judge's will reveal their average score. And, whoever lands the lower score in each duel, will be the group, solo act, or team to head home! So, let's get started!
Fik Shun VS. Nick Daniels:
[UPPER] Fik Shun, Las Vegas — Fik Shun brought his A-game to the duels with his solo performance. And, since he had the highest score in the qualifiers, he chose to duel with Nick Daniels to kick off the next round. He pulled out insane controlled moves, with a sharp, freestyle routine! AVERAGE SCORE: [90.7] WINNER!
[UPPER] Nick Daniels, Miami Florida — The solo act put on a spectacular performance with amazing acrobatic moves. Derek and J.Lo even questioned whether it was humanly possible for him to perform the flexible routine! AVERAGE SCORE: [87.7]
Swing Latino VS. Miami All Stars:
[TEAM] Miami All Stars, Florida — It's the battle of the Latin stars! The All Stars performed a Swing routine and killed it! They hit every single mark there was. The judges compared their routine to a professional broadway performance and J.Lo said their stage presence was a party from beginning to end! AVERAGE SCORE: [88.3]
[TEAM] Swing Latino, Cali Colombia — Every trick that the male/female All Stars added to their routine, Swing Latino added one more, Jenna Dewan-Tatum said. The judges were amazed at the fact that they did so many lifts and pulled it off, flawlessly! AVERAGE SCORE: [91.7] WINNER!
Eva Igo VS. Kyntay
[JUNIOR] Eva Igo, Minnesota — There.are.no.words. Eva killed her emotional routine! Her flexibility and strength overpowered the room. "It's Eva's world," Derek said before he revealed that Eva is his current favorite. And, J.Lo was obsessed! AVERAGE SCORE: [89.0] WINNER!
[JUNIOR] Kyntay, Alberta, Canada — The female duo have years of experience and were even on tour with Janet Jackson! The young duo performed a high-energy hip-hop routine that the judges loved! AVERAGE SCORE: [82.7]

[UPPER] Quick Style, Norway — The male trio performed a high-tempo, hip-hop-like routine that had the crowd jumping! And, their dance was made inside Keone & Mari's home! The difficulty level was so incredible that Derek said they were the "dopest boy band I've ever seen!" J.Lo even called this the toughest duel of the night. AVERAGE SCORE: [89.3] This was the biggest shock of the night! Derek said that Keone & Mari's "feeling" was what pulled them into the next round.
[UPPER] Keone & Mari, San Diego, California — The married couple used their cell phones as props to tell an emotional story during their routine. They wanted to share the message that you need to put down your phones to live in the moment. And, the judges felt the emotion! AVERAGE SCORE: [91.3] WINNER!
Here's your week 4 duel winners: Fik-Shun, Swing Latino, Eva Igo, and Keone & Mari! We don't know about you, but WOD keeps getting better and better each week! So, stayed tuned for our week 5 recap, when our new addiction airs on NBC, June 27!

The (Grand Junction) Daily Sentinel, Feb. 14, on the Interior Department's plan for national parks:
If Western communities seem obsessed with the policies and budget priorities of the U.S. Department of the Interior, it's with good reason.
Interior has its fingerprints all over local economies near public lands. From mineral development and grazing to outdoor recreation and Payments in Lieu of Taxes, the department shapes economic conditions in the rural West in a way that few folks east of the Mississippi can understand or appreciate.
Mesa County, with a huge amount of federally managed land and a National Park Service property to boot, is disproportionately affected by Interior's moves.
There's plenty to like in Secretary Ryan Zinke's proposed $11.7 billion budget proposal, especially a legislative proposal to establish a Public Lands Infrastructure Fund, which would provide up to $18 billion to address a backlog of deferred maintenance in national parks, national wildlife refuges and Bureau of Indian Education schools.
"Our parks and refuges are being loved to death," Zinke said in a press release. Our own Colorado National Monument has a deferred-maintenance backlog in excess of $20 million. Anything that can spruce up our area's biggest attraction would be a welcome change from years of underfunding the National Park Service.
But there's a rub here. There always is. Interior's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2019 represents a 16 per cent reduction over the previous year and a 7 per cent overall cut to the National Park Service. Funding for NPS operations remains flat and the budget proposes cuts to cultural programs, land acquisition and a grant program that leverages philanthropic giving. The special fund to tackle deferred park maintenance would come from energy leasing revenues.
The proposition of opening up more land and waters for oil and gas development to rebuild the National Park System naturally rubs conservation groups the wrong way. It's like tying funding for a healthy eating initiative to fast food sales.
Much of what Zinke's budget attempts to do sounds good. It "enables Interior to carry out its core mission of responsible multiple-use of public lands in a way that both conserves America's iconic landscapes and supports responsible resource development," according to Interior's press shop.
But as we learned long ago, "responsible" is in the eye of the beholder.
We would prefer that the National Park Service not have to endure cuts at the same time it's being promised money to fix longtime problems. But we're reminded that Congress has painted itself into a corner on nearly all budget matters. If the money for the repair backlog wasn't coming from energy revenues, where would it come from? More debt-financed budget deals?

The Denver Post, Feb. 13, on equitable funding for Colorado schools:
Colorado's school superintendents are sending up a smoke signal asking for help, and everyone across the state should be listening.
Not only are Colorado schools underfunded, a majority of superintendents are saying, but the way the state distributes billions of dollars in funding is inequitable and based on a broken formula that was put in place 24 years ago.
More than 170 superintendents are backing a bill at the Colorado Capitol that would completely reconfigure how school districts are funded, placing more emphasis on the attributes of students in the district than on the district itself to determine per-pupil state funding levels. House Bill 1232 is sponsored by Rep. Dave Young and Sen. Andy Kerr, both Democrats, and Sen. Don Coram, a Republican.
The catch is that even if the legislation for a new school funding formula is passed into law this year, it won't take effect unless voters approve a tax increase of somewhere around $1.6 billion for schools, although that number is subject to change as non-partisan staff at the Capitol completes its fiscal impact analysis.
That money would accomplish two goals. First, it would hold school districts harmless to ensure the new formula doesn't end up cutting funding to any single district. The new formula would create significant winners and losers without ensuring that base funding amount. Second, it would increase state funding to what it would be if lawmakers hadn't shortchanged the Amendment 23-mandated funding levels with cuts that have come to be known as the negative factor.
"Even with this $1.6 billion that we need to be able to fund the formula, it doesn't take us up to national average (of per-pupil funding)," said Wendy Rubin, superintendent of Englewood Public Schools. Superintendents, including Rubin, began the process two years ago of developing a plan to ensure schools are not only funded adequately, but that if state funding were increased, districts would also be funded equitably.
If this sounds familiar, that's because it was also the premise behind Amendment 66 in 2013: pass legislation to reform Colorado's broken school funding formula and then ask voters for a tax increase to fund the new formula. But when voters soundly rejected that $1 billion income tax hike, the funding formula reforms disappeared, too.
This editorial is not an endorsement of a tax hike — although we agree that Colorado schools are chronically underfunded and need additional resources to provide our kids with the education they need to compete in today's economy. There are only vague proposals to put something on the ballot this fall that would increase school funding. But rather this is an endorsement of the first step in fixing the problem, passing a new funding formula to begin to address some of the inequities in how Colorado schools are funded.
A student's ZIP code should not determine the quality of their education, and unfortunately, the current formula has created an inequitable system that has enabled just that to be the case.
The proposed formula would ensure districts receive more funding if they are serving students living in poverty, or those learning English as a second language, or gifted and talented students. Rural and small school districts would get more reasonable funding levels, given the diminished economies of scale they face. Additionally, the formula would for the first time fund kindergarten students for a full day, and change the preschool funding formula so there are no caps on half-day enrolment numbers.
There's much to like in this proposed formula, and lawmakers should take this bipartisan, superintendent-backed legislation seriously.
Editorial: http://dpo.st/2BuhRcP
Aurora Sentinel, Feb. 13, on Colorado's paid family leave act:
These things are all true: Almost everybody in Colorado must work when they grow up; with everybody working, a seriously sick family member can create a crisis; and a plan by Colorado Democratic state legislators to address the first two things is a big and dubious income tax hike.
A bevy of prominent state Democratic lawmakers, including Aurora's state Sen. Rhonda Fields, have rallied to House Bill 18-1001, the "FAMLI" Medical Leave Insurance Program. The measure would impose an income tax increase on everyone in the state, couched as a "premium," to get around the state's tax-increase laws. That income tax hike could be as high as about 1 per cent, meaning that someone who makes $50,000 a year would pay an increase of $500 a year in wage "premiums" to the state.
That's a chunk, and, yes, that's a tax.
In exchange, everyone would be eligible for checks from the state for about two-thirds of their salary for up to 12 weeks if they had or adopted a baby, or if a family member were to take ill and needed care.
No one can successfully argue that a Scandinavian real-life social system is bad for anyone, businesses included. Even the churlish Trump Administration sees the wisdom of letting workers stay home with very sick children or spouses. The reality for most Americans is that sick leave, if they even have it as a benefit, evaporates long before a new-mother is ready to go back to work or the parent of a seriously ill child can even think of returning. And the worst part of reality for many Americans is that they don't have the money in savings to do without a paycheque for two or three months until a home-crisis resolves.
We certainly would argue that the lack of paid family leave is a problem in Colorado, but HB 18-1001 is the wrong answer.
The least of its problems are how the system would be set up. It levies a tax, so it's a tax. Proponents can call it anything they want, it's likely that if this measure were to pass, critics would be successful persuading a court that it violates Colorado's problematic Taxpayer Bill of Rights. That misguided measure requires tax increases like this one to be approved by voters.
The Aurora Sentinel argued for years in editorials that the controversial Colorado Medicaid Hospital Fee was a fee, not a tax. But this levy, imposed on every worker in the state, is a tax.
A bigger problem this measure has is the benefit itself. Let's say you or your spouse has a baby, and you make $25,000 a year. You would pay about $250 a year for this "insurance" policy, about $21 a month. If you invoke the benefit, your stay-at-home-benefit would be about $288 a week for up to 12 weeks. Ask anyone making $25,000 a year, losing a third of their salary would be just as much a crisis as having a sick kid.
We agree that the most financially challenged Coloradans are the ones most vulnerable during a family crisis, but if you live in the Denver area, the FAMLI Act would be like giving someone in a sinking boat a Styrofoam coffee cup to bail water. You could certainly argue that it's better than nothing, but those who do probably don't have to try an live on two-thirds of $25,000 a year, and they don't consider the biggest problem the FAMLI Act causes: what we would give up to get it.
Finally, employers would get a bye on paying for this service and would arguably be huge beneficiaries. Well-cared for employees undoubtedly add to every businesses' bottom line. The Scandinavian safety-net system has proven that repeatedly. Businesses should pay, too.
A 1-per cent income tax increase, or fee, is serious. The chances would be almost certain that if this were to pass, there would never be another income tax hike in Colorado, at least not one like this, which affects everyone in the state.
Paid family leave is important, but it's even more unnerving that Colorado and the nation are barrelling toward a health care system catastrophe. Within a very few years, and possibly within just a few months, the cost of increasingly useless health insurance will rocket as the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress cut the legs out from under the Affordable Care Act. If Republicans prevail in keeping both houses in Congress this fall, it will almost certainly mean the end of expanded Medicaid and a spiraling down of an already dismal health care system.
As the nation's health insurance and health care systems reel, Colorado may have to go it alone to emulate the Affordable Care Act. To do that, taxing room against employee paychecks, either through a "premium," a "fee" or an honest tax, will be necessary.
While both paid family leave and affordable health care are both critical, the widespread loss of health insurance across the state would be so catastrophic that the need for paid-leave would pale in comparison.
Instead, lawmakers could require the state's insurance division to create FAMLI-like family leave policies for employees making less than $50,000 a year. Give businesses tax breaks for purchasing these policies and additional incentives for employees to help pay part of the premiums.
Lawmakers should not, however, set up a system that will cost Colorado taxpayers millions to fight for — against tax-protesters — in court, a system that would preclude an income tax hike that will probably be needed soon for a public benefit even critical than paid family leave.

Suddenly, it popped out of my mind that I had never talked about the beautiful Black Blythes out there. You may think I am not a quick thinker! So, I interviewed recently 3 Blythe friends who love to create Black Blythe custom dolls with each their own lovely style. They will make you want to have one… or even more than one!
For the record, the first Black Blythe I have ever seen is Millicent by Ragazza and I loved her right away.

The Who's Who of Black Blythe!
Soon after, I discovered the Black Blythe customs made by Mar, aka Lunita. Mar is 42, lives in Spain and discovered Blythe on a Dollhouse forum: "I was browsing some posts and all of the sudden I saw a picture of the cutest doll I had ever seen. At that time I didn´t know it was Blythe, so I looked at the webpage of the person that had uploaded the pic and I found that cute doll was Blythe. Actually thanks to Keera, I fell in love with this doll, since she was the person that had posted the pic on the forum. That was back in 2007 and ever since then I´ve been collecting Blythes and have left aside my other hobby, dollhouses. Two years ago I had like 60 Blythes… I thought I had too many, so now my collection is pretty small, approx 20 Blythes, and one of my favorites is Apple, my first black Blythe".

Zenzile Greene, aka Zanalee, is a Black Blythe lover and customizer too and it's always a pleasure to have a look at her doll's adventures in NYC! She is a photographer/writer born in Brooklyn, New York, but she now lives in Harlem, Manhattan, works for the City University of New York and is a part time student in Art, Media and Social Issues: "I discovered Blythe for the first time while vacationing in London ten years ago. In the gift shop of the design museum, I spotted This is Blythe by Gina Garan and I suddenly felt I was looking at something I could finally connect with while at the same time I had no idea what the actual intended context was. I struggled with the question of whether this was in fact an art piece targeted at children simply because it was filled with images of this strange doll. The themes seemed somewhat mature, but there was definitely playfulness and an eccentricity about it that I was very struck by. I had never seen anything like it before and wasn't sure what to make of it. But it stuck with me and I filed it away as something to revisit when I returned to the states. It would be some years though before the idea of actually owning a Blythe ever occurred to me. Back in New York I had found the website and would regularly download Gina's photos to a personal folder on my computer. For me, Blythe was still a doll owned primarily by Gina and contextualized by her in this ongoing photo project. I did not understand Blythe as a collector's doll. That didn't happen until I got into photography. As the daughter of a professional photographer, I got bitten by the photo bug quite late in life and it was sometime in 2008 when I realized that photography was not just about documenting special occasions and peopled events but also about finding the beauty of everyday things. One day I did a search for Blythe on Flickr and the rest is history. I suddenly got it, that Blythe belonged to many many people. I was totally seduced by her particularly when I saw Yatabazah's photos of Mary Collins. That was it for me. I just loved the way he saw and understood her and how she had her own very specific life. I had to have one. I was on Flickr for about a year before I got my first Blythe, an ADG Pow Wow Poncho. I understood that she was a photographer's muse".

Kyi is My Delicious Bliss in the dolly community and also a mother of two lovely daughters, 11 and 23. She lives in a coastal community in Los Angeles County, California, and work a full time job in Law Enforcement as well as running a local Event Planning and specialty company called Kyi's Creations. She has a passion for photography, fashion and all things Blythe. She loves to customize Blythe dolls with her youngest daughter who is her muse and to craft doll houses with her father of Poppies Woodshop Designs: "My original background was in the fashion industry. I have been playing with dolls all of my life. I previously worked for a popular fashion retail company as the District Visual Coordinator, which meant I got to purchase and style mannequins, which means I got to play with the biggest dolls of all for a living for 8 years. Focusing on new trends, styling, creating window displays, coordinating fashion shows, and working with some of the most talented stylist, makeup artist and mannequin manufactures".

The beginnings…
Mar: "The reason I started making custom Black Blythes is because I couldn´t find one I really liked. The first custom Black Blythe I ever saw was a custom made by Loukomi on Black is Black's photostream. I thought she was just too cute and that I needed to have one".
Photo: Black is Black. Black Blythe custom by Loukomi.
"When I make a custom Black Blythe, I try to make them as natural as possible… I don´t like them with really bright make-up… The processs of making a Black Blythe at the beginning was not too easy. There is not a lot of information out there but I really have to thank Loukomi, Froggymonkey and Lucy Harper. They´re the ones that gave me the tips to make a Black Blythe. There really is no secret on how to make a Black Blythe, just patience. All you need is any kind of spray paint, MSC or similar to seal, and tones of patience".
Photos: Lunita. Perla, Black Blythe custom by Lunita.
"My first trial at making a Black Blythe was a total disaster because I sprayed too much paint and it took forever to dry, then the bubbles and cracks appeared…"
Zenzile: "Very soon after I had acquired my first Blythe in 2008, I started to see Black Blythes pop up here and there on Flickr photos and totally flipped out. I had fallen totally in love with Blythe but was really disappointed that I could find no Black or even Brown representations of her on eBay or other online shops and at the time Heather Sky just wasn't doing it for me. She didn't come close to fulfilling my need for a diverse reflection of peoples of color in this doll community. So when I started to see all of these unique and amazing looking Black Blythes, I decided to get over my shyness and hesitance about messaging strangers online and immediately started to inquire: Where did you get your Black Blythe? Where are they selling them? I want one! I felt like there was something I didn't know. Were they a limited edition? And then someone I messaged told me that there were not produced by Takara but customized. I soon discovered that some of the very first Black Blythes had been made by a fantastic Blythe customizer named Lunita. When I learned that someone else was making Black Blythes, my only thought was that if they can do it, I can do it.
I have made all of my Black Blythe Customs except for two which were gifts. In 2009 I set out to make my first one, Reya Light, who was originally an I Love you it's true. I learned about all the different Blythe molds right away. She is an SBL and when I learned I had to saw her head in half to get her open, I was horrified but I figured I would do it once and it would be the last time. I was in the park across the street from where I live on a hot sticky summer day with a can of vinyl spray paint and newspaper. And back at my apt I had more newspaper laid out all over my living room with sand sponges and a hand saw. Often I felt very much like I was in over my head but ultimately, the result was indescribably rewarding and I earned a lot of respect and love for the entire process. To me Blythe customizers are artists and I can never have a Blythe for very long before I want to take her apart and begin to transform her. This way, I feel like she's really mine and truly one of a kind".

Kyi: "I only started collecting and customizing Blythe in August of 2011. My daughter wanted the new Line of Littlest Pet Shop Blythes and I told her the LPS were based off of a doll that used to be around when I was a child. Together we searched the internet for Blythe and were amazed by all of the beautiful Blythe photos we encountered. Being a women of color, I wanted to have a Blythe that my daughter and I could identify with. I fell in love with Lunitas Custom Black Blythes and I instantly knew that I had to have one, but to my dismay, Takara did not sell a Blythe of color, not tan, I wanted a true Brown skinned Blythe. So I decided at that time to research to try and find a way to have one created for me. In this search I came across Zanalee's Blythe Blog Born To Blythe, in which she documented her own journey into customizing her own little Brown Blythe. She inspired me and gave me the courage to try and create my own black Blythe. Proof that I too could create a customization that would quench my Brown Blythe desire! Thus Evangeline was created; she is my very first Beautiful Brown Blythe customization and still my very favorite girl".

"I joined flicker and through that gateway I have come across some truly inspirational customizers who have fulfilled their vision of what a beautiful Brown Blythe is to them. In that inspiring me to be creative and now today I am an overjoyed customizer of Beautiful Brown Blythe Dolls. I have gotten so much help and assistance from this wonderful Blythe Community. And have formed some great relationships even with the talented artist that inspired me. Mar (Lunita) the talented artist whose creations made me want a Black Blythe for myself, today I call her a friend and she has always been so supportive and helpful throughout this journey. I want to thank all of the customizers who have the courage to take apart a Blythe and rebirth it into something new and unique: you are all a true inspiration".
Tips from the experts!
Mar: "So the fist tip I would give people who are trying to make a Black Blythe is don´t spray too much paint. It´s better to spray 4 or 5 layers of paint, than just one. Really thin layers of paint, let it dry and paint again. If you use MSC to seal, don´t spray too much because it may leave like a white sort of look, so with the MSC the same tip don´t use too much. For the make-up no special tip, just the same as you would do with a white Blythe. The body is quite a sticky issue and I would say maybe the most difficult part, for my first Black Blythe, Apple, I used a licca body and I was lucky because it´s not really sticky, I would never use a Takara body, paint seems to not dry at all, and ADG bodies are more like the liccas and less stickier. For the body use really thin layers of paint or it will never dry. The best option for the body would be the Pure Neemo, the first person that used a Pure Neemo on a Black Blythe was Barbara, a.k.a Little MissNoName. So thanks to her there are a lot of Black Blythes with none sticky bodies".
Zenzile: "As anyone who ever attempted to customize a black Blythe will tell you, one of the most difficult things about making them is finding a body on which the spray dries completely. I was very lucky with Reya because I found someone who swapped an ADG body with me for a Licca body that I didn't care for at the time. To this day, Reya's body is perfectly smooth and without any stickiness or fingerprints at all. The Licca and the Takara body are notoriously hard to paint because of the sticky finishing of the plastic they tend to be made. They never seem to dry completely enough though there have some who have managed it with things like MSC which seals the paint in or baby powder which helps soak up moisture".
"The face plates are not a problem once you have a steady hand with the spray can. Always remember to spray lightly and not too close to the plate. Light coats are better than heavy thick ones at close range. This way you can always come back and fill in light or blank spots. If the coats are too heavy and thick it's harder to repair errors like paint bubbles or streaks. In most cases, mistakes like this mean you have to start all over again and it's just awful sanding paint off of a face plate after it's already begin to dry. Trust me! I also find that MSC is great for sealing in paint and for Black Blythes in particular it creates a very photographable surface".
"It was very challenging for me photographing Reya when I first made her because of the combination of high contrast that her darkness created as well as the high shine on the surface of her face plate. With Castaneda I sprayed a light coat of matte MSC after her prime color had dried and the difference was incredible. Her face looks to me like ebony bisque and photographing her is a dream".

"As far as getting information online, there are also some really helpful people in the Blythe community so don't hesitate to ask questions if you need to. I have somewhat shy and reserved tendencies about connecting with people online but I have had to learn to get over that in order to learn what I need to about this craft. I have to say that for the most part I have had nothing but pleasant, helpful and really gratifying exchanges in the Blythe world. In fact I have made good friends there with wonderful people who I still have yet to meet in person but whose talents are broad, fascinating and indispensable. Unfortunately there weren't many tutorials available when I first started out making Black Blythes but I referenced Jaszmade's tutorial and Puchi Collecctive most often and it got me off to a great start. In 2010 I also published a photo essay "Little Brown Blythe" on Blurb.com which highlights some of the steps in my process making each of my custom Black Blythes".

Little Brown Blythe, eBook by Zanalee.
Kyi: "The hardest thing about creating a Blythe of color is the paint and body types. Depending on the type of body used, the technique of painting must change. I have experimented on Takara bodies and the paints I have tried thus far do not keep on their bodies, it is too rubbery. The Pure Neemo Bodies take the paint the best to me, even Licca Chan bodies are tricky, because the tilt head Liccas are harder to take the paint than the regular Licca bodies. The legs on the tilt head are rubbery like a Takara body. Different brands of paint take better on some bodies than others as well, so each time going in to paint a new body is always the luck of the draw. I continue to experiment trying new paints and new bodies to see what holds up the best. I want to be able to handle the Brown Blythes more so their paint work is not so fragile. I have a good technique now but there is always a better way and I am searching for it"!

"For anyone who is thinking of customizing their own Brown Blythe, I suggest lots of patience, practicing technique and not giving up. It is a forgiving art, if you mess up just sand and redo".

Commissions anyone?
Mar: "Right now I´m not making anymore Black Blythes just for family and friends. I have made 15 Black Blythes, right now I have one that is almost finished and it´s for a friend, as I said for now I won´t be making any more Black Blythes".
Photos: Lunita. Black Blythe customs by Lunita.
"What I most love is how creative we can be with this doll, and what I most love is the Blythe community. If there is one I thing I love is how many lovely people I have met and even became friends with, thanks to this doll. If you have a bad day, there is always someone there who will bring a smile to your face with the comments on flickr"…
Zenzile: "I don't take commissions at the moment but I have made a few Black Blythes by special request. The first ever Black Blythe I made for someone else was Ramona Rae, a Blybe Clone who I customized for a dear friend's birthday. She was a very special custom because she was for someone I love and whom I knew would love her. I still love seeing Ramona Rae now and remembering all I we'd been through together while I was making her, remembering the first day she was finally complete and how exciting that was".

"For Blythe Owl, I customized a Black Blythe which she simply wanted spray painted and who became Queenable. And for Melly Kay I also painted a Black Blythe and gave her sparkly gold lips like Angora's by request. Black Blythes that I will be creating in the near future will be available to purchase in my Etsy shop, Little Brown Blythe".

Kyi: "To date I have created 9 Beautiful Brown Blythe Art Dolls of color and have been commissioned for 5 more by the end of this year. My Etsy shop is new and starting to take flight, getting more inquiries daily for the customs I create. It is a blessing to be able to turn a hobby into a business that does not even feel like work. It is a joy to create these customs and each one carries a piece of me, I truly love the whole process. Seeing the girls travel around the world is invigorating, a few to Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Italy and 3 in the States, makes me feel like I am traveling living… vicariously".

Black Blythe families are growing…
Mar: "Apple and Bubblegum are the only Black Blythes I have in my own family".

Zenzile: "I have four custom Black Blythes in my collection which I have made". Following Reya Light, I made Neige, formally a "Simply Mango", Angora Lee, whose mohair re-root I also did and Castaneda, a Blythe Clone on a Neemo body. I have also been very blessed to receive as gifts, Hendrix, a beautiful Heather Sky Blythe Moofala Custom from Melly Kay and a Beautiful My Delicious Bliss Black Blythe Custom from Kyi Lynn who I have named Ellington".

"I cannot express my gratitude for these lovely additions to my Blythe family. They are such a wonderful and moving testament to the kindness of the Blythe community".
Kyi: "In our own collection right now we have 12 girls some have come and gone". The Black Blythes of the gang are Evangeline, Kyi's 1st Custom Beautiful Brown Blythe, who is Custom Simply Guava, and Meillat, a custom Beautiful Brown Middie Blythe Melomelomew.

The future of Black Blythes?
Mar: "I really hope Takara will one day make a Black Blythe, not a tan but a black Blythe, that would be so awesome".
Zenzile: "My next Black Blythe custom will most likely be one of the Middie Blythes, which I have recently come to adore. This will be my first time customizing a Middie Blythe and I'm super excited to see how she turns out'.
Kyi: "My goal is to attend Blythe Meets and see a diverse mix of Blythe speckled with all colors. I want my creations to appeal to everyone and not just see one random Blythe of Color in the crowd, to have those meets as diverse as the world we live in, a true reflection of our society.

The key to great memories is of course the choice of photographer on a wedding day and they chose one of the best, Morgan James Photography as always did an amazing job of capturing the day. We also had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Lanny of The Linen Shoppe and Mariah from Simply Flowers. The beautiful cake was created by Eddie's Bakery and the delicious food was provided by Pardini's Catering and Banquets. The fabulous location was The Grand 1401 which is a stunning building like no other in the area. A special thank you to Liz at The Grand for all of her hard work and help throughout the planning.
It was simply a pleasure. The Eclectic Affairs team thanks you for trusting us to be a part of such a special day.

As a means of promoting a company's products and services, decals are often overlooked as a marketing opportunity. For some industries, such as those offering service and repair, decals should not be considered optional as they put your contact information in front of existing customers where they are most likely to need it. This article presents information on decals and how to use them to effectively market your business.
Decals are printed adhesive stickers that typically identify and promote your company's product, service, name and image. Though inexpensive to make, they are invaluable in putting your company information in front of customers. For example, consider a homeowner that needs to have his air conditioner serviced. If he's anything like me, he knows there's a closet that houses some heating and air conditioning components, and may be able to replace a filter, but that's the extent of his ability. This equipment closet is the perfect place for a decal with the name and contact information for a heating and air conditioning contractor. As an alternative to looking in the yellow pages, the decal identifies a contractor presumably familiar with you and your air conditioning equipment.
As a marketing tool, decals are ideal for a number of reasons:
Decals are ideal for service oriented industries such as heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, septic service, irrigation, well drilling, waste management, equipment sales and rentals, and many others. When budgeting considering a marketing plan for your company, non-profit, fund raising event or for donor recognition, consider the many advantages of decals.
